Why should I pay for Skift.com reporting?
Skift’s independent journalism has been mission-critical for the travel sector for years now, and even more so in a pandemic world. As travel reopens and recovers, Skift’s role becomes even more important from here in helping decipher the path ahead for the global travel industry. Going ahead, we are focusing on building Skift such that our reporting is not solely subsidized by the companies we cover, to continue on this independent voice of reason. We have made the decision to begin charging for access to our online resource.
More travel professionals get their industry news from Skift’s trusted editors and reporters than any other source. As a distributed company, Skift has reporters and analysts in New York, London, Singapore, Los Angeles, Denver, Philadelphia and San Francisco and planning more global cities as we grow.
Can I still read Skift.com for free?
Non-members can read three exclusive stories every 30 days without joining, and can subscribe to our daily newsletter which has the top headlines of the day. They will always have free access to stories produced by our sponsors, the leading brands and our Skift X content studio. These stories will not count towards the three-story cap.
Can I share my membership with others?
Memberships are single-user licenses. Sharing your account or login information — including people at the same company — is not permitted and will result in cancelling the membership without a refund.
How long are your memberships?
We offer both one- and two-year memberships.
I used to read Skift for free. Why do I have to start paying?
We have made the decision to begin charging for access to our online resource. This is an important shift for Skift. This decision builds a key revenue stream that will be more resilient to industry down cycles, it will strengthen Skift’s editorial team, our journalism efforts, and our commitment to the travel industry.
We allow free access to a set number of Skift news articles. When the monthly free reading limit of three stories is reached, users are asked to become Skift Pro Members.

No. However, all Skift Research Subscribes can take advantage of exclusive discounts when joining Skift Pro. Please email Anne Duffy, [email protected] to learn more.
I am an Skift Airline Weekly Subscriber, does that mean I have access to Skift Pro?

What happens at the end of my Skift Pro Membership?
All memberships will automatically renew at the end of the membership period. If the billing information is up-to-date, you are charged the annual fee and your membership will continue. If you wish to change your billing information, you can do so under “Billing Method” in your account.
If you do not wish to automatically renew your membership, you MUST contact [email protected] 30 days before your renewal date with your termination request.
Can I share Skift Pro content with my colleagues and professional network?
